„Po śmierci próżniaka nie zawyje i sobaka”: образ ледаря та трудолюба в зоофразеології (на матеріалі польської, української та російської мов)
Get PDFThe article analyzes the zoophraseologisms to denote a lazy and a hard worker. It was found that the images of a bee, a horse (in all studied languages), a donkey (the Ukrainian language), a bull, a louse (the Russian language), and an ant (the Polish language) were used in the phraseology for a positive description of person. Laziness and idleness in phraseology personify the images of a cat (in all studied languages), a bird, a louse (Polish and Ukrainian languages), a drone (Ukrainian and Russian languages), a donkey (the Russian language), a dog, a hen (the Ukrainian language). Ambivalent connotations in phraseology have images of an ox (in all studied languages), a dog (Polish and Russian languages), a hen, a donkey (the Polish language). Negatively colored phraseologies prevail over positively ones. In most cases, the semantics of phraseology is related to the way of life of animals, which people perceive it, to a lesser extent – the plots of fairy tales, pagan traditions, culinary and hunting practices. Decoding of some phraseologies is complicated by the homonymy of animal names.The article analyzes the zoophraseologisms to denote a lazy and a hard worker.

Prirodoslovno-umjetnička proza u hrvatskoj (dječjoj) književnosti
Get PDFNatural-scientific prose is characterized by a specific description of the natural world in which scientific information is fitted in the experience of nature and animal characters only partially or minimally anthropomorphized. The goal of this research is firstly to explore the presence and influence of foreign literary authors in the history of Croatian (childrenʼs) literature, who dedicated their literary work to this unique literary subgenre, such as a Danish journalist and writer Carl Ewald and an American-Canadian zoologist and literary author Ernest Thompson Seton. Furthermore, the aim of the paper was also to study the contribution of Croatian authors – Miroslav Hirtz, Zlatko Špoljar, Antica Juras-Ljubić and Vlatko Šarić – in this narrative form by methodologically relying on the insights of literary science and animal studies.Natural-scientific prose is characterized by a specific description of the natural world in which scientific information is fitted in the experience of nature and animal characters only partially or minimally anthropomorphized.

Rola pszczół i wosku pszczelego w tworzeniu głagolickich liter
Get PDFThe article shows what role the writing instruments, in particular wax tablets, used by St. Cyril the Philosopher, could play in shaping the material form of Glagolitic writing. In this research approach, writing is treated not only as a system of abstract signs, but also as their factual figure formed by a tool on a writing material. In the case of the Glagolitic alphabet, its creation was therefore both a mental and physical process involving objects such as wax tablets. The ease of engraving the shapes of new letters on a soft surface and the possibility of repeatedly erasing them allowed Cyril to experiment with their forms without consuming valuable parchment. Therefore, this process depended mainly on the material properties of the wax produced by honeybees, which was used to cover the wooden tablets designed for writing with a stylus. In this way, these insects participated in the creation of the material dimension of Slavic writing, on a par with people who took the stick from them, choosing the wax from the hives to further process it. This proves that Cyril did not force the Glagolitic letters formed in his mind onto passive material, but that beeshaped, writing wax affordances actively cooperated in this process.The article shows what role the writing instruments, in particular wax tablets, used by St. Cyril the Philosopher, could play in shaping the material form of Glagolitic writing.

Светителот – скротител на дивите ѕверови. По примерот на св. вмч. Мина Чудотворец
Get PDFThe basic and main topic of this research paper is the cult of St. Martyr Mina, especially his ability to tame the wild beasts-the wolves. The starting point of this paper is publication, written by V. Popovska Korobar about the wall paintings from the XV century in the monastery church St. Petka in the village of Brajchino, region of Prespa in Macedonia. In this church the saint is portrayed with some fairly rare iconographic elements that out framed the usual monumental painting of that time – the saint is portrayed as a victorious handler of tamed wild beasts. Popovska Korobar supposes that this kind of interpretation is related with the saint’s life in the desert together with the wild animals, or with the description of the beast in the existing literature about her life in Egypt – the monster with a camel’s head, and she does not identify the species of the animals depicted on the wall of the church. According to our research, this type of iconography is created and based upon the hagiographic texts in combination with the folklore identity of St. Mina and according to that, we think that the wild beasts are tamed wolves.The basic and main topic of this research paper is the cult of St. Martyr Mina, especially his ability to tame the wild beasts-the wolves.

Афективното естество на реализма – за не-човешките субекти в прозата на Вилхелм Мах
Get PDFThe article examines the problem of the special place occupied by the prose writer Wilhelm Mach in the Polish literary field in the 1960s, when it was suggested that the novel had mainly cognitive functions. Mach does not openly oppose this tendency, but his work is concerned with the question what makes literature an experience. The article traces the development of this problem in Mach’s work, focusing on novel scenes and episodes of killing or torturing domestic animals in which the writer’s mechanism for depicting affects plays a key role. Their analysis shows that, according to Mach, a literary work works when it transmits affects and demonstrates the ultimate possibilities for their expression. The article tests the hypothesis that Wilhelm Mach’s search for affective realism can be seen as a counterpoint and context to Blaga Dimitrova’s fiction.Статията разглежда мястото на творчеството на Вилхелм Мах през 60-те години на ХХ век в полската проза, когато се смята, че романът има основно познавателни цели. Мах не се противопоставя пряко на тази тенденция, но основният проблем, който го интересува, е какво превръща литературата в преживяване. Статията проследява развитието на този въпрос в творчеството на писателя, съсредоточавайки се върху епизоди и фрагменти от неговата проза, в които са описани мъчения и убийства на домашни животни. Тези сцени показват основните механизми за предаване на афекти в прозата на Мах. Техният анализ показва, че според писателя литературата работи тогава, когато е в състояние да предаде афекта и да създаде условия за неговото пълно изразяване. Поставена е хипотезата, че афективният реализъм, който търси Мах, може да бъде четен като контекст и контрапункт за прозата на Блага Димитрова
Neki metodološki problemi u savremenom istraživanju socijalnih femininativa u srpskom jeziku
Get PDFThis work critically examines some epistemological problems of the institutionalized public knowledge of Serbian lingustics and the knowledge of the opposed groups of social and feminist linguists. It also provides attention to some relevant studies of feminine derivational sufixes in the Serbo-Croatian and Croatian language. Under consideration are some crucial methodological issues such as supporting a claim, reliability of evidence, presenting disagreement among sources, and research ethos. The research contributes to the fuller understanding of the problem of social femininatives and to enlarging the types of reference sources. It suggests the need of thorough diachronic and interdisciplinary research which would look at different centuries and show the correlation between macsculine and feminine sufixes, the chronological activisation and geographical distribution of social femininatives, their productivity, archaization and extinction, as well as the newest proposals.This work critically examines some epistemological problems of the institutionalized public knowledge of Serbian lingustics and the knowledge of the opposed groups of social and feminist linguists.

Фразеологизми с орнитонимском саставницом у српском језику
Get PDFThe subject of this paper is phraseology with the name of the bird in its lexical structure (such as crn kao gavran, držati se kao pokisli vrabac, zaplesti se kao pile u kučine, podmetnuti kukavičje jaje etc.). These units were analyzed in order to present the language picture of the animal world of Serbian speakers. The research is based on linguocultural approach to language ‒ Zykova’s conceptual theory of phraseology and culture (Зыкова, 2015). Attention is mostly paid to the problem of motivation of the observed phraseologisms and the phraseological semantic processes. There are several different types of information that motivate the creation of phraseology with the name of the bird as their lexical component: the appearance of the bird, its sound and behavior, as well as its symbolic value.The subject of this paper is phraseology with the name of the bird in its lexical structure (such as crn kao gavran, držati se kao pokisli vrabac, zaplesti se kao pile u kučine, podmetnuti kukavičje jaje etc.).
